Workplace Accident Attorney in Suffolk County, NY

Serving Clients in Long Island and NYC

In New York, if you are injured while on your job the exclusive remedy
is under New York State’s Workers Compensation Law. You are entitled
to receive economic loss from your employer’s workers compensation
policy regardless of fault in how your accident occurred. While it’s
not required that you obtain an attorney to receive Worker’s Compensation
benefits, in many cases it’s advisable that you have a representative
who can appear with you in court to rebut the testimony of the doctors
who examined you on behalf of the workers’ compensation insurance
company. Also, under New York State disability law, you may be eligible
for benefits even if you were injured off the job such as in a motor vehicle accident.

If you or a loved one was injured in a work-related accident on Long Island
or anywhere in Suffolk County, New York, The Law Office of Matthew Glassman
can evaluate your case and, under the right circumstances, can provide
experienced legal advocacy.

Accidents on Construction Sites

Construction sites constitute a high-risk environment in an industry where
accidents occur routinely. Injuries are common despite the efforts of
management and on-the-ground personnel to provide a safe environment.
When it can be proven that a third-party, either the owner of the property
or an architect, developer, or general contractor has been negligent in
providing the correct equipment to ensure the safety of workers, victims
may be entitled to damages for their injuries.

Section 240 of the New York Labor Law, for instance, states that if equipment
that was required to perform your work was either not provided or was
faulty, a third-party may be held liable for your injuries. Injuries may
result from falling or having been struck by an object or because proper
safety harnesses were not provided.
